Tobacco Hornworm
Found this on my pepper plant today.
Tobacco Hornworm (Manduca sexta) parasitized by braconid wasps.

The wasp deposits eggs under the skin of the worm.It lives until the wasps reach this stage.
5DII with Canon 100macro f/8 ISO 1600 1/640" Handheld.

Re: Tobacco Hornworm
Very nice. It took me almost a minute to notice the big worm. It is very well camouflaged.
Nice shot!

Nice to see there is something out there helping to protect the tomato plants from these voracious villains. Great photo.

Hi John,
Reading some about the braconid wasps,they are at the top of the list for control of the Hornworm.
